Improving Positive Destinations

Recommendations

It is recommended that the Committee: 1.1 Note the contents of this report, positive destinations. 1.2 Note the significant improvement in school leavers positive and sustained destinations.

Background

2.1 This report provides elected members of the Education, Children and Families Committee with a summary of school leaver destinations from Edinburgh’s 23 secondary schools for Winter leavers 2013 and Summer leavers 2014 and includes: • Overview of progress; • Individual school statistics broken down by destination; • Four year trend; • Comparison against national average; • Individual school progress; • Reports on impact of 16+ Learning Choices, JET, JET+, Career Ready, Activity Agreements and The Edinburgh Guarantee; • Positive destination categories are: Higher Education (HE), Further Education (FE); Training, Employment, Voluntary Work and Activity Agreements. Other destinations are: Unemployed Seeking, Unemployed Not Seeking and Not Known. 2.2 The School Leaver Destinations Report 2009/10 recorded 83.1% of Edinburgh’s school leavers in positive destinations, almost the lowest percentage that year of all local authorities. In the following three years, and despite the challenges of the recession, Edinburgh’s positive destinations performance has improved to the point of being the best for the last ten years achieving 86.5% positive destinations in 2010/11, 89.8% in 2011/12 and 91% in 2012/13 and 93.1% 2014/15. This is now 1.6% above the national average. See Appendices 1a and 1b.

Main report

3.1 The total number of school leavers for Edinburgh in 2013/14 was 3,191. This is 189 fewer leavers than the previous year 2012/13. 3.2 Edinburgh’s positive destinations 2013/14 data shows an improvement on the previous year 2012/13 by 1.6% and continues the positive trend. This is the highest level of positive destinations reported since 1997/8. In comparison to other local authorities Edinburgh has the highest positive destinations of any City in Scotland. 3.3 Edinburgh’s positive destinations 2013/14 is now 1.6% above the national average and the table below compares Edinburgh with the national figures. 3.4 Table 1 sets out the positive destinations by percentage four year comparison 3.4.1 Table 1: Positive Destinations by Percentage Four Year Comparison against the National Average

YEAR EDINBURGH SCOTLAND VARIANCE

2013/14 93.1% 91.5 +1.6%

2012/13 91% 90% +1%

2011/12 89.8% 89.5% +0 .3%

2010/11 86.5% 87.2% - 0.7%

3.5 Only three schools in Edinburgh now have positive destination percentages below the national average. 14 schools have improved positive destination percentages and two have remained static. The destination category which had the biggest increase was employment with an increase of 6%. The biggest decrease was Further Education with a 1.9% decrease. See Appendix 2. 16 + Partnership Groups 3.6 16 + Partnership Groups in schools continue to be key to making the difference through focusing on early intervention and identifying those most at risk of not achieving a positive destination. Led by a Depute Head Teacher partners include Skills Development Scotland, Community Learning and Development, voluntary agencies and activity agreement advisors. Adopting a Getting it Right approach (GIRFEC) these groups assign lead responsibilities, align support and provision to young people well in advance of school leaving, over the transition period and into an after care period. JET Programmes 3.7 The JET Programmes are educational programmes of extended work experience for S4-6 school leavers. The budget and management of this is managed by “Opportunities for All” within Children and Families. There will be new National Standards for work experience launched in September 2015 and JET and JET+ will Education, Children and Families Committee – 6 October 2015 Page 3

be the main method of delivery for these. There will also be a focus on bespoke work experience opportunities and greater support for Looked after young people, those needing more support and young people in special schools. See Appendix 3 for more information. Academies 3.8 The Health and Social Care Academy is a National Certificate level academy which was developed in partnership with NHS Lothian, Health and Social Care, Edinburgh College and Children and Families Quality Improvement staff. There are currently 43 pupils in this academy. The academy comprises three single years of certificated study from National 4 to Higher level. Participants can take part in one, two or three years and entry is defined by ability level and employment aspirations. 3.9 The HNC Academies focus on: • Creative Industries • Hospitality and Tourism • Food Science and Nutrition. 3.10 Currently there are 83 pupils participating in these Academies. Successful completion of the HNC will enable pupils to move directly onto year two of a linked degree course at Queen Margaret University. 3.11 The Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) Academy was launched in August 2015. This academy will focus on two strands: 3.11.1 Engineering and Science which is being developed in partnership with Edinburgh College, Napier University and industry representatives. This academy is for S4 to S6 pupils with clear learning pathways, progression and relevant exit qualifications. The STEM Academy offers good preparation for Modern Apprenticeships; 3.11.2 Pathways Foundation Apprenticeship in Financial Services for S5 and S6 pupils. This course has been developed alongside industry providers and there is provision for post school learning in a related industry which will allow participants to take SVQ at level 2. Career Ready (formerly Career Academies) 3.12 Now established in all secondary schools. Career Ready is a two-year programme

aimed at Fifth into Sixth year students. Students are matched to a mentor from business. Students attend six Master Classes and attend three workplace visits, over two years. A student undertakes a four week paid internship during the last week of the school term and three weeks into the summer holiday. Presently, in Year 2 of the programme we have 100 students undertaking the programme. For this coming Year 1 group we anticipate 112 students taking part. The Career Ready Graduates who left school in May 2014, 94% of whom went into a positive destination. The table below indicates their destinations

Edinburgh Early Learning and Childcare Academy (EELCA) 3.14 Edinburgh is the first local authority to develop a two year training programme which allows Modern Apprentice and Trainee Early Years Practitioners to learn and earn at the same time. It is a workforce development programme which is allowing us to build the capacity of our early learning and childcare settings. 3.15 The Academy’s SVQ Training Programme began delivering training at SVQ level III Social Services for Children and Young People in September 2014. There are 13 Trainees and 10 Modern Apprentices Early Years Practitioners who are employed in our early years settings across the city whilst they work towards gaining their qualification. The first group of EModern Apprentices and Trainee Early Years Practitioners are now at the start of the second year of their two year course and they are due complete this at the end of June 2016. From this date onwards they will be able to join our supply list of Early Years Practitioners and they will also be able to apply for permanent posts within our Early Years service. We are now making preparations for the second cohort to start in August 2016 and the intention is to recruit 10 Modern Apprentices and 10 Trainee Early Years Practitioners. We will begin highlighting the programme with the secondary school sector from October 2015 and aim to share information with those working with S3 pupils on the qualifications required to apply for the Modern Apprentice programme. Activity Agreements 3.14 Activity Agreements were introduced in December 2011 and are now managed by Economic Development to support post school progressions in the skills pipeline. Since their introduction in Edinburgh, 78% of young people completing an Activity Agreement have moved into a positive destination.

Education, Children and Families Committee – 6 October 2015 Page 5

3.15 Increased use of activity agreements for young people who are furthest from being employment ready has contributed significantly to moving young people onto a positive destination 3.16 Activity Agreements accounted for 1.6% of leavers within the authority who left between August 2013 and July 2014. 3.17 This is a decrease of 0.3% on 2012/13 and is 0.5% higher than the national average (1.1%). 3.18 From April 2014 until March 2015, 296 young people have been referred for an Activity Agreement. 3.19 Of those completing their Activity Agreement in 2014/15: • 14% progressed into employment; • 25% progressed to training through the SDS Employability Fund; • 13% progressed into other local training programmes; • 15% progressed into Further Education; • 3% progressed into Modern Apprenticeships. The Edinburgh Guarantee 3.20 The Edinburgh Guarantee is being delivered within the Council jointly between Economic Development and Children and Families and forms part of the Council’s Capital Pledge to ‘further develop the Edinburgh Guarantee to improve work prospects for school leavers’. 3.21 The Edinburgh Guarantee is also an integral part of the Council’s Economic Strategy 2012-17, under the investment programme ‘help unemployed people into work or learning’ with the overall aim of achieving ‘sustainable growth from investment in jobs’. 3.22 In 2015/16, 505 opportunities have been identified to date and 120 matched to young people. Over 2,401 opportunities have been identified and 1,586 matched to young people since the start of the Edinburgh Guarantee. Looked After Young People 3.23 At a national level the results show broadly the same picture as previously in that a much higher proportion of Looked After pupils leave school at the end of S4, they have much lower attainment and lower positive post-school destinations than their non-LAC peers. 3.24 The most recent Scottish Government statistical publication on Outcomes for LAC, provided figures for positive destinations for the 2013/14 cohort of LAC school leavers. There are about 70 for Edinburgh. The follow up survey was used for the figures noted below.

Education, Children and Families Committee – 6 October 2015 Page 6

3.24.1 2013/14 Positive destinations all leavers: Scotland Edinburgh 92% 93.1% 3.24.2 2013/14 Positive destinations LAC leavers: Scotland Edinburgh 73% 65% 3.25 For Edinburgh the LAC school leavers figure was the same as the 2012/13 figure. 3.26 There is a Multi agency which group tracks, monitors and matches looked after leavers to opportunities and support. 3.27 The membership of this group has changed and there is a focus on strengthening support to improve outcomes for Looked after young people and linking to the Corporate Parenting Member Officer Group. Please see Appendix 4 for more information. Participation Measure 3.28 The Scottish Government's Opportunities for All commitment offers a place in learning or training to every 16-19 year old not in employment, education or training. 3.29 The statistics currently used to measure progress on this ambition are the sustained school leaver destinations. This approach limits our ability to fully assess the impact that Opportunities for All, and the support provided by partner agencies, has on the 16-19 cohort. 3.30 We've worked with the Scottish Government to develop a new Participation Measure which allows us to identify the status of the wider 16-19 cohort - not only those who have just left school. 3.31 This new measure is drawn from records which are updated by SDS and by partners (local authorities/schools, colleges, SAAS, DWP etc) through the 16+ Data Hub. It allows our partners to understand the impact of interventions and the outcomes they deliver at every transition point for 16-19 year olds. 3.32 The first Participation Measure report was published as "experimental statistics: data being developed." This is because it is a new measure and will allow stakeholders time to provide feedback to support its further development. In these new statistics Edinburgh is 1% above the national average. 3.33 Although the statistical publication is annual, local authorities and colleges can access their own data via the 16+ Data Hub reports at any time. 3.34 Statistics on school leaver destinations will continue to be reported with the next publication scheduled for December 2015. Data will also be made available through Insight, the online benchmarking tool used by secondary schools and local authorities.
